Chapter 1 The Journey Home (Part 1)
(Thanks to the juniors, make persistent efforts, continue to rush, and make it to the top ten to show your face)
In the early morning, the pier was already bustling with pedestrians, and it was a hot scene.
This is the second time Chen Zong has set foot on this pier, the first time he just came from the opposite side of Shen Yujiang.
At that time, Chen Zong was only half-stepping into the cultivation base of Jinjing Dzogchen, he was not considered a role at all, and almost fell down on this pier, but now it is different.
With unhurried steps, Chen Zong walked straight forward.
At this time, a nimble figure quickly passed by from the side, passed by Chen Zong, and reached out to grab the mustard seed bag on Chen Zong's waist, but unexpectedly failed.
"It's you!" The dexterous figure also saw Chen Zong's appearance. Although it had been more than a year since the last time, Chen Zong left a deep impression on him at that time.
Chen Zong also recognized the other party, who was the one who wanted to snatch his burden from before, the Viper Gang member.
Surprised, the thin and nimble middle-aged man showed panic, and immediately backed away without any hesitation, wanting to leave quickly.
He was almost killed by Chen Zong last time, or else a real martial arts master would appear in the gang.
And even the real martial arts masters in the gang couldn't help each other all at once. In the end, it was said that they were threatened by Li Qingye, the owner of the Qingye Sword Gym, and had to give up.
"You were lucky enough to survive last time, this time..." Chen Zong said casually, raising his hand and pointing his finger.
An undetectable ray of finger shot out through the air like a sword energy, crossed more than ten meters in an instant, and shot into the heart of the thin middle-aged man. Falling down softly, this scene was seen by some people around, and they immediately scattered in panic.
Chen Zong ignored it, but turned around and walked out of the pier again, where there was a big wooden boat.
When he got close to the big wooden boat, he took out the Iron Feather Token, and he was directly treated as a VIP reception without paying any fees, and he could also enjoy the best room in the big wooden boat, because this big wooden boat was a merchant ship of Dayu Trading Company.
Not long after, the merchant ship opened, left the pier, and headed for the other side of the Shen Yu River.
"Who dares to kill a member of my Viper Gang?" The roar resounded in all directions, and a powerful aura swept away. It was a real martial artist coming. If Chen Zong saw it, he would recognize it. He was the one who almost killed him before. My own second-level true martial artist.
"Even the distinguished customers of this firm dare to offend, there is no need for the Viper Gang to exist." Not far away, a manager of Dayu Firm said, one sentence is equivalent to an order, and the people under him immediately took action, and soon, Viper The Snake Gang will be eradicated.
This is power.
brought about by the status.
brought about by strength.
Chen Zong on the merchant ship didn't know, and even if he knew, he wouldn't bother.
Standing on the deck, facing the gentle breeze of the river, Chen Zong's eyes became far and deep, his thoughts were flying, and he didn't seem to think about anything deliberately, but countless thoughts appeared, and countless pictures emerged, like looking at flowers on horseback.
Do you return to your hometown with honor and prosperity?
Not really.
However, compared with when he left, there is indeed a big gap.
The cultivation base at the early stage of the sixth level of the True Martial Realm, but his overall strength is better than the ordinary seventh level of the True Martial Realm, it is indeed different.
However, it is still not enough.
As soon as he thought of those faction geniuses, those arrogances, those pseudo-transcendents and even the real super-mortals, Chen Zong knew that the cultivation of the sixth level of the true martial arts was far from enough, and he must not be complacent.
For this trip, Chen Zong's purpose was to return to the Yunlong Dynasty, and then return to the Eastern Continent.
Back then, he was forced to risk his life to break into the Mountain of Beasts. He got through by luck. Now that his strength is almost the same, it's time to go back and settle some grievances.
Furthermore, several years have passed, Chen Zong misses his father very much, and he doesn't know what has happened in the past few years.
There is also Huanyun Daoist who does not have the name of master and apprentice but has the reality of master and apprentice.
There are other relatives and friends of his.
Homecoming is like an arrow!
The more I think about it, I wish I could grow a pair of wings and fly over the mountains and seas to go home immediately.
Family!
I didn't straighten it out, let my thoughts be chaotic, and let them fly naturally. I haven't felt this way for a long, long time.
It takes a lot of time for a merchant ship to cross the Shenyu River. Chen Zong would observe the river every day. Although he didn't draw his sword, he could comprehend and practice the sword in his mind. In addition, he practiced vertical and horizontal kung fu.
With a little bit of improvement in cultivation, he gradually moved from the early stage of the sixth level of true martial arts to the middle stage of the sixth level.
Arriving and disembarking, Chen Zong went to the Three Fierce City.
"I don't know if Brother Xia is still in the city?" Chen Zong secretly asked.
For more than a year, there has been no change in the city of three evils. As always, it is still so chaotic.
Chen Zong saw the stele of the three fierce warriors, and saw the name behind the stele. The word Chen Zong was at the top of the list, but now it seems that the sword principles contained in those two words are common and there are many flaws.
Arriving at Yunlong Pavilion, Chen Zong saw Xia Tiechao.
"You are..." Xia Tiechao stared at Chen Zong with wide eyes, his face full of surprise.
"Brother Xia." Chen Zong greeted with a smile.
"Brother, it's really you." Xia Tiechao was very happy.
When friends met, they exchanged pleasantries, and after learning what happened to Chen Zong in the past year, Xia Tiechao opened his mouth so wide that he could squeeze a big fist into it.
However, Chen Zong did not say all of them, but only explained some of the things that could be mentioned.
"Brother, what is your cultivation level now?" Xia Tiechao asked hastily.
Chen Zong didn't answer, but exuded a breath.
"The early stage of the sixth level of True Martial Realm!" Xia Tiechao's eyes widened, the eyeballs were protruding, and he almost fell off.
More than a year, just over a year and less than two years, the cultivation base has broken through from the peak of the ninth rank of the training state to the early stage of the sixth level of the true martial arts. This kind of improvement is too terrible. Compared with it, Xia Tiechao I feel that all my years of practice have been practiced on dogs.
People are more angry than people, and they are deeply shocked, and the heart can't stand it.
"Brother Xia, when I come back from this trip, besides visiting you, I also need to resolve a grievance." Chen Zong said.
...
Outside the Three Fiends City, Chen Zong was standing tall with two swords on his waist, straight like a sharp sword, pointing straight at the sky.
A hundred meters away from Chen Zong, there were two people standing.
Iron Wolf, the deputy leader of the Red Wolf Gang, and Iron Bear, the deputy leader of the Grizzly Bear Gang.
Chen Zong could feel the aura fluctuations on their bodies, they were all in the middle stage of the seventh level of true martial arts. In his eyes, they were so powerful in the past, but now, they are nothing.
"Envoy Xia, this is a battle of life and death, you cannot interfere." Tie Lang said with a bit of fear.
"Don't worry, I won't intervene." Xia Tiechao sneered, he had personally verified Chen Zong's strength, even though he was not as good as himself, but it was not weak, and it was beyond the reach of ordinary seventh-level true martial arts.
At that time, the Red Wolf Gang and the Grizzly Bear Gang also paid a considerable price, but grievances are grievances. If Xia Tiechao hadn't helped, Chen Zong might have been killed by Iron Wolf or Iron Bear. Now, it's time to settle.
There are still many people watching around.
"It's only been a little more than a year. Even if this Chen Zong has outstanding talent, he is at most at the third level of the True Martial Realm. It is too presumptuous for him to fight to the death with Iron Wolf and Iron Bear."
"I don't think so. If you don't have some confidence, how can you propose a life-and-death battle."
"I really can't figure out what support is there for a martial artist whose cultivation is no more than the third level of the true martial arts to dare to fight to the death with two seventh-level true martial arts."
After all, the gap between the third level and the seventh level of true martial arts is the gap between the fourth level of cultivation, or the gap between the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage.
This gap is too big, so big that the seventh level of true martial arts can crush and kill the third level of true martial arts with a single move.
"Iron Bear, will you make the move or should I make the move?" Iron Wolf asked coldly.
"You two, let's fight together." Chen Zong replied to them, making them furious.
"I'll do it." Tie Xiong said, with a cruel smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, his eyes flickered fiercely, falling on Chen Zong's face through a hundred meters, bursting with bloodthirsty light.
Immediately, I saw Tie Xiong let out a roar, his whole body surged with real power, and the fluctuations in the mid-seventh level of the True Martial Realm blew away like a gust of wind, rolling up dust and sand all over the sky.
With both legs exerting force, the earth trembled endlessly with a bang. In the wild sand all over the sky, the strong and tall figure of the iron bear rushed out, surrounded by real power, the whole person seemed to have turned into a violent steel bear, full of tyrannical and murderous intent. , bombarded Chen Zong mercilessly.
Even though he didn't know whether Chen Zong was overthinking his own strength or what to rely on, Tie Xiong broke out with all his strength, and with all his strength in the mid-seventh stage of the True Martial Realm, he wanted to kill Chen Zong in one fell swoop, lest Xia Tiechao return to attack.
A hundred meters passed by in an instant, approaching, Iron Bear stretched out his right hand, slapped his thick palm hard, and let out a vigorous and violent roar, just like the roar of a giant bear, which made people's heart beat wildly and blood flow backwards.
With the palm pressure, the terrifying aura slammed towards Chen Zong fiercely. The ground under his feet collapsed instantly, and cracks appeared in the ground behind him, and a palm print of nothingness appeared.
The red wolf crossed his arms in front of his chest, with a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes, and a smirk on the corner of his mouth, he felt that he didn't need to make a move, this kid would definitely die.
That's fine, otherwise this kid's talent is indeed amazing, if he is given enough time to continue to grow, it will not be difficult to catch up with himself and Tie Xiong in the future, and it is estimated that it will not be difficult to surpass himself and Tie Xiong. If he seeks revenge, then he and Iron Bear will be in danger.
Fortunately, this kid thought he was talented, and now that he has broken through to the real martial arts realm, he probably won the leapfrog challenge, and his confidence has inflated.
While everyone was watching, Chen Zong didn't seem to have any reaction to the iron bear's violent strike, as if he had been suppressed. Then, they were bombarded into patties, or bombarded to pieces.
It seems that a bloody scene is about to appear.
But I saw Chen Zong's right hand moving, like a phantom, and the moment it was too late to see clearly, a bright silver sword light suddenly lit up and bloomed instantly, like a meteor piercing the sky, or like an aurora penetrating the moon.
Too fast, too fast, so fast that it cannot be described or captured.
Even though Xia Tiechao had already seen it once, he was still amazed when he saw it for the second time.
The red wolf narrowed his eyes, and he couldn't help but let go of his crossed arms. For some reason, there was a burst of uneasiness in his heart, as if something terrible was about to happen.
